It’s easy to find a combination of llama.cpp and a coding tool like OpenCode for these. Asking an LLM for help setting it up can work well if you don’t want to find a guide yourself.

Buying hardware to run these models is not cost effective. I do it for fun for small tasks but I have no illusions that I’m getting anything superior to hosted models. They can be useful for small tasks like codebase exploration or writing simple single use tools when you don’t want to consume more of your 5-hour token budget though.
